New Tech High Schools

I can see and make arguments for both the advantages and disadvantages for high schools like the ones from this article. With our nation changing, economically, industrially, and culturally, schools like these would help to gear our future generations towards the new-tech careers that will be waiting on them after graduation. The other side of the coin might argue that a school like this, which downplays some of the traditional structures, rules, and formalities from school past such as class bells and all passes might be taking focus off the value of structure and rules in society. While I'm not convinced that either side is completely right or wrong, what I am convinced of is that we need to change something in our education system for the sake of our nation's successful future... and right or wrong, they are at least trying!
